Paul O’Grady wrote that Princess of Pop, Madonna looked like she needed “a good wash” after an awkward encounter in New York.
In his memoir in the Mirror, Paul recalled meeting Madonna but wrote that after giving her “a feeble wave,” he was “completely ignored” by the pop star.
He wrote: “I’ll admit it, I was excited – well, it’s not every day a global superstar sits next to you.

“I looked over and gave her a feeble wave. But Madonna was playing at being world-weary and completely ignored us.”
He went on to describe her outfit for the evening which was made up of a “grubby vest and combat trousers,” adding that she thought she could “wear anything and still look cool.”

“Dressed as she was in a grubby vest and combat trousers, she wouldn’t have looked out of place at a bus stop eating chips,” he detailed. “But when you’re a star of that magnitude I expect you believe you can wear anything and still look cool.
“Lowering her aviator dark glasses over her eyes, she curled up on the sofa tucking her feet underneath her. The soles of her feet were filthy, dirtier than a potato-picker’s who’d forgotten to bring their wellies to work.”

In an awkward turn of events, Paul slipped up and suggested Madonna have a “f***ing good wash,” to her face, but thought he wasn’t heard by the star.
“‘You know what I want?’ she said imperiously. “A f***ing good wash?” I offered,”
He continued: “It came out before I had time to stop it and I sat frozen with bated breath to see her reaction, but none came.

“She clearly hadn’t heard me or if she had then she was ignoring me.
“‘I need some air,’ she announced suddenly to nobody in particular and with that earth-shattering statement she took off.”
